When you say,
"Love isn't working,"
I was let go,
In favor of sin.
I work for you:
You haven't paid me.
I require: manners,
Apologies; forgiveness; reconciling;
Passion; discipline; appreciation;
Acknowledgement; patience; understanding;
Faith; hope; joy...
If you pay me,
Yet you say,
"Love is not working,"
Do you pay in poison?
Are you paying:
Bitterness; insults; hate;
wrath; violence; war;
sadness; madness; lust?
Do your employees stay when,
You hate them and hurt them?
If they do, they're not staying for you,
but I can't stay for anything but you,
So I leave when you're not you,
And I stay away when you refuse to be you.
To be you,
You must love me.
Unconditional love
Is pure love,
Free from sin.
Sin is hate,
If you don't love me,
You love hate,
When you love sin,
Then you will say,
"Love doesn't work."
And I will call out to the darkness,
But there you will sleep,
And eternity will keep you,
Because you want to be kept.
So love me,
Love, "Love' and prosper.
Love is a higher power.
God is love & peace.
So faith in God is faith in love.
When will you choose to love?
Will it be when you've love everything?
That will never happen?
Will it be when things are always falling apart?
You won't let it go that far?
Will it be when your world is okay, but you feel empty?
There are things for the emptiness?
Will it be when the emptiness is properly fed?
The emptiness is never fed.
The emptiness will grow,
Until it consumes your friends,
Your family,
And your soul.
It will never stop consuming you,
Even after death.
Those who tell you different,
Have never died,
Those who died and tell you so,
Didn't go to the after life,
Otherwise, they wouldn't be here.
Isn't that so?
